Lake Tejas - Ultimate Swimming Hole
lake Tejas, 152 Lake Tejas Lp, Colmesneil, TX 75938, Colmesneil, TX, USLeave Houston around 10am for best results.... The lake is two hours from downtown so carpools are a good idea for this event.
The summer is here, this is a great chance to swim at the lake with friends. Lake Tejas is owned and operated by the Colmesnial School district and all profits go to the school system for the education of the local community. The sand on the beach was brought in in boxcars in the 1920s from Florida when the facility was established. There are nice sandy roads that run around the area
Come and have a dip in the lake, spit watermelon seeds, and loaf around with friends under the shade of the East Texas pines. Bring snacks, swimwear, and an inclination to relax in the quiet for a summer celebration of East Texas culture. Maybe it gets better than this somewhere but I have not figured out where. Dinner will be in Woodville and the drive back will be in the dark.
Tickets are $5 at the lake, and bring picnic lunch, as we will probably take over a few picnic tables.
Plan on leaving Houston around 10am as Lake Tejas is about 110 miles from downtown. Arrive at the lake around noon. Bring friends and carpool for the best experience. Advertise your carpool in the comments below.
Our organizers are not guides nor do we have any special training. We are here to come up with hiking ideas and get things started. Take the same precautions you would if hiking alone, including the fitness needed to make long hikes. Then enjoy the swim among friends.
COVID PRECAUTIONS:
Bring and wear a mask when not hiking and follow the best practices to prevent the transmission of COVID.Gathering Place:
We are meeting on the beach at Lake Tejas at noon. 10am is when you need to leave Houston to have any chance of arriving at the lake around noon. There is lots of parking around. DIRECTIONS TO LAKE TEJASThe Experience:
Sunning, swimming, napping in the afternoon shade. Almost no walking at all.Weather Forecast:
